Today I collected my new baby, a Race Blue VRS CR DSG Estate

Standard Car, with spare wheel and metallic paint

Just a note it has Maxi dot as standard as it is a DSG. according to the dealer it is included with Multifunction steering wheel upgrade which DSG cars have as standard.

What a car only 20miles driven so far and it is fantastic, in a different league to my 1999 C240 Sport that it replaced.

Will get some pics uploaded maybe tomorrow, if anyone has any specific pictures they would like to help them please let me know and i'll see what i can do.

Hmm.....the DSG I test drove didn't have the multi function steering wheel or Maxidot - just a tiptronic lever. That was an 09 plate.

Edit - Just thought, I think on the new ones you do get MFSW with DSG and if that gives maxidot then that's quite cool. A lot of kit bundled together.

chrispy - same here the Facelift steering wheel is automotive porn - i love the paddles, but i like gadgets!

Cool! A cute blonde spread-eagle across the bonnet please?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Presume it has flappy paddles as well then - what are they like ?

Jesus, I think I need glasses, I can not make head or tail of those pics!! Anyway enjoy!

Could you show a picture of the flappy paddles for the DSG please, are they behind the wheel

Some nice pics there! I see by the back of your drivers seat you get plenty of kicks in the back!!!

AW

Thanks for the piccies. I now understand the flappy paddle arrangement

Car looks great

Race Blue was my second choice

kicks are fewer than with the old merc, deffinatly more room than before, i think my little one will be taking her shoes off when i'm driving.......

glad the paddle pics helped

it does look very nice in blue...........I'm torn between blue and white hmmm lol.

both need cleaning get silver! if my old car wasnt silver i'd have gone silver, so little cleaning!

true they do hide the dirt well but its too common of a colour down the road I live

HI all,

ordered my new FL on 17 Sep (saved lots of money in Afghan) 2.0 vRS DSG race blue, est delivery date 01 Jan 10 , this will certainly change,

this may be a bone question......would it come with maxidot even though i didnt spec this on the order ???

Cheers

Every 2nd taxi in my town is silver hence why i went for white.Still 11 weeks to wait delivery though:(

well maxidot was standard on mine, there are conflicting stories from dealers weather it is or isn't standard. be interesting to see someone else with a standard dsg has fitted

Never thought I liked the idea of DSG, but love the paddles. Hmm, where's my chequebook ...

Every 2nd car is silver, period.

Funny, my dealer said when choosing my colour that white was the new silver and it was becoming very popular. I went for the Cupertino beige as it looks like silver but it's not

Looks very nice mate.

As for DSG - I drove my guvnor's Essex Bread Van (sorry white Scirocco ) and I have to say I was mucho amazed at the seamless changes. Will defo be on my shopping list in five years!

Enjoy the new turbocharged baby carrier!
